Dan, See what you can pull up on that situation that may have slipped through the Youtube vanguard for some main posts.
Had some coverage but disable rich text is not a selectable option at this time so can't share.
Government is shutting down upwards of 30% of farms during a global food shortage and the people are having none of it.
As expected, pretty much total media blackout on the issue while they cook up a spin job for it.

it's a protest against a proposed law that'll render around 30% of the ag industry unable to operate by 2030 or something ...
> Protesters are angry about new environmental law proposals that seek to curtail emissions of nitrogen oxide and ammonia by 50% by 2030. According to estimates by the government itself, some 30% of livestock farmers will have to shut down their businesses.
this law doesn't really have much bearing on the current food crisis elsewhere, Netherlands produces shitloads of food & I don't know that their exports are seriously affected. Farmers are laying seige to the food distribution, blocking roads & distribution centers - that's what's causing the shortage of food in some supermarkets there (not a lack of actual food).
I expect more of this kind of thing to happen this decade as business & politicians clash over environmental policies. Climate change & capitalism are on a collision course.

More like gaslit governmental climate change response is on a collision course with human civilization.
